On foot across India: Bihar traveller reaches Ramban on Kashmir journey

Banihal, July 8: In an inspiring story of determination, endurance and a passion for exploring India's cultural diversity, a solo traveller from Bihar, Parveen Kumar, popularly known as Begana Yatri, is drawing attention as he walks across the country from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, covering thousands of kilometres on foot. Kumar, a resident of Madhepura district in Bihar, reached Ramban along the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) on Wednesday as part of the final leg of his remarkable journey. Carrying the Indian Tricolour, a backpack and a traditional wide-brimmed hat, Kumar is steadily marching towards Srinagar. With less than 150 kilometres left before reaching his destination at Lal Chowk, he says the most challenging yet rewarding phase of his expedition is nearing completion. Speaking to Greater Kashmir , Kumar said he began his journey from Kanyakumari nearly a year ago. While he initially travelled through some regions by taking lifts, he has spent the last six months walking continuously to experience the true spirit of the country. The purpose of my journey is not merely to travel but to understand India's rich cultural heritage. I want to experience local traditions, languages, cuisine, clothing, customs and the unique lifestyles of people living in different geographical regions. Walking allows me to connect with people and places in a way no other mode of travel can, he said. As he passed through the picturesque Chenab Valley, Kumar attracted the attention of commuters, Shri Amarnath Yatra pilgrims and local residents, many of whom stopped to appreciate his extraordinary mission and wish him success. Kumar plans to conclude the walking phase of his cross-country expedition at the historic Lal Chowk in Srinagar. However, his journey will not end there. He intends to continue exploring Leh-Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab by hitchhiking and taking lifts, with the aim of discovering more of India's diverse culture, landscapes and people.

Government, corporates and global foundations join hands on PRAGATI to empower 20,000 agri-entrepreneurs

Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan recently launched PRAGATI, a nationwide initiative to build 20,000 agri-entrepreneurs and directly benefit 20 lakh smallholder farmers through climate-resilient, regenerative agriculture.    Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Shivraj Singh Chouhan launching the PRAGATI initiative   The programme is backed by a coalition of institutions including the PepsiCo Foundation, State Bank of India Foundation, Gates Foundation, IDH, Heifer International, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Global Agri Entrepreneurship Academy, Sustainable Agriculture Foundation's International Association (SAFIA), Agri Entrepreneur Growth Foundation (AEGF), and Transform Rural India Foundation (TRIF).   Building on an existing network of 26,000-plus agri-entrepreneurs that already supports 2.6 million farmers, PRAGATI aims to add 20,000 more entrepreneurs and reach over 2 million additional smallholders across Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. The initiative targets a 30% rise in farmer incomes and a 15-20% yield boost in paddy, maize and potato, with regenerative practices adopted by at least a fifth of participating farmers. Entrepreneurs will run 20,000 village-level kiosks offering agronomy advisory, soil health services, mechanization, credit linkages and market access, alongside a push for financial and digital inclusion.   Speaking at the launch, Chouhan said "the vision of Viksit Bharat cannot be achieved without a developed agricultural sector and prosperous villages," adding that the government's focus extends beyond output to cutting cultivation costs, raising incomes, and promoting value addition and agri-entrepreneurship. He cited horticulture, livestock, fisheries and beekeeping, along with drones and digital advisory tools, as key levers for the sector's future, stressing that traditional farming alone will not be enough for small and marginal farmers.   Industry and philanthropic partners echoed that sense of urgency. Monica Bauer, Senior Vice President, Global Social Impact at PepsiCo and President of the PepsiCo Foundation, said farmers are "at the heart" of the company's business and that supporting their livelihoods is "essential to building a more resilient food system." Jagrut Kotecha, CEO of PepsiCo India and South Asia, called PRAGATI "a much needed intervention" bringing together partners with shared intent, reflecting the company's "Partnership of Progress" philosophy.   For SBI Foundation, the initiative marks a shift in banking's role in rural India. Its MD & CEO, Swapan Dhan, said PRAGATI is "not just about creating agri-entrepreneurs" but about building "a nationwide movement of local changemakers who will drive farmer prosperity, climate resilience, and financial inclusion".   International partners framed PRAGATI as a scalable model for the Global South. Alan Johnson of the Global AE Academy and IFC (World Bank Group) said the programme scales "a proven agri-entrepreneurship model" that turns rural youth and women into "catalysts of economic growth, innovation, and sustainable agricultural transformation." Hisham Mundol, Chief Advisor-India at EDF, said it places "farmers and local entrepreneurs at the center of climate-smart, efficient solutions," combining data-driven insights with last-mile delivery. Dr. Simon Winter of SAFIA called it "a bold step towards enabling a new generation of rural changemakers to accelerate the transition to regenerative and climate-resilient agriculture."   Rina Soni, Executive Director of Passing Gifts Pvt. Ltd., a Heifer International subsidiary, said the platform treats farmers "not as passive beneficiaries" but as "entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers," with the potential to make farming "a profitable, sustainable, and aspirational choice for the next generation."   With its scale and multi-stakeholder design, PRAGATI is set to become India's largest privately led agri-entrepreneurship programme, positioning local entrepreneurs as central agents in building a more inclusive and climate-resilient rural economy.
